You can either call or email to request an appointment.  For email: please add me as a contact to avoid replies filtering to your junk mail.

If you call or email and we agree upon a date, I will direct you to the client portal to schedule this first appointment.  This will enter you into my electronic system so that you can more easily use the client portal in the future.  It will also grant you access to my intake forms to be completed before your first visit.

ADDRESS AND PARKING

In 2020 I made the decision to transition to an office located on my property instead of renting an office in town. I have found this to be a grounding decision for myself and for my clients. Clients report feeling relieved not to be waiting in a waiting room with multiple other people waiting for multiple other therapists. I find that it is important for me to be able to make my own decisions on how the therapy space feels. Things as small as controlling for noise and temperature and smell have a big impact on being able to ground into the contained therapy space.

In spring 2026 I will be moving this office to a new residence in Fairview NC on five beautifully wooded acres. The property is approximately a 20-25 minute drive from downtown Asheville. I am excited to create a space for my clients that is a bit away from the noise of the world and I am aware that some folks may prefer not to drive to Fairview. In addition, the parking area is about a half football field of a walk from the building itself so folks would need to be open to or interested in a brief walk through the woods to get to therapy. Because the location is my family’s residence I will give out this address and specific logistical instructions once we have determined to meet for a first session. I offer remote sessions as well and many of my current folks do some type of hybrid of in person and virtual to navigate regular sessions in a busy life. Some folks attend entirely remotely. When possible it is always best to try to meet at least once in person within the first six months of working together, but we can determine that together.

payment

I am no longer in Network with any insurance plans. I am happy to provide a superbill for patients to submit to their insurance to be reimbursed for out of network benefits.  I also accept payments from health savings accounts. 

Typical in-office sessions last either 45 or 50 minutes depending on our agreement together.  Please contact me directly with questions about my full fee.
